[R] Magic Number Error Message

Fri Mar 25 17:47:39 CET 2011

This is where you start to learn to debug scripts and to use the
'browser' function.  Type in the following:

options(warn = 2,  error = utils::recover)

This will turn warnings into errors and stop on the statement that
caused the error and invoke the browser so you can check the values of
various objects.
